Hyundai brings compact models to rental show

HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America is displaying compact equipment models at the ARA (American Rental Association) Show, which is Feb. 18-21 at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.

Norcross, Georgia-based Hyundai North America also is showcasing its heightened focus on supporting dealer rental operations at the event.

Members of the company's national compact equipment sales team are on hand at the ARA Show to answer questions about the Hyundai HT100V compact track loader and four HX-A series compact excavators on display.

“One of our team’s key areas of focus is helping our dealers expand their rental business as a profitable strategy for growing their overall sales and service,” says Jeff Pate, Hyundai vice president. “Compact equipment rentals often lead to expanded opportunities for dealers to serve customers. We’re here to help facilitate that business and assist our dealers in achieving [opportunities] these lines represent.”

Hyundai's recently introduced HT100V compact track loader and HS120V skid steer feature four-cycle, turbocharged, electronically controlled diesel engines that deliver efficient power while meeting the newest emissions standards in the United States and Europe.

Standard features in the new models include a climate-controlled cab designed for easy operator entry and exit, joystick controls and a vertical lift boom so the bucket goes straight up and down, providing better balance for loading and dumping, the company says.

“These new compact excavators, along with the Hyundai compact track loader and skid steer, expand the Hyundai product line to serve more rental customers in construction, landscaping agriculture and material handling,” Pate adds.

“These Hyundai machines provide a broader range of capabilities for contractors and other equipment users whose work requires powerful, dependable and affordable compact equipment."

HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America offers crawler excavators, wheeled excavators, wheel loaders, skid steer and compact track loaders and hydraulic breakers while offering sales, service, parts and rentals through the brand’s network of more than 190 dealer locations.
